CNN is still reporting on the 8 deaths in a Haifa train station in the early days. We see the hole, the blood and hear all the sobs about the deaths.

Israel took out the media station so that any actual footage of the devastation cannot get out and Israel keeps good PR to the world.

****personal thought*********

it is pathetic that admin is blaming Syria and Iran for everything from bird flu to nukes--so Lebanon just gives them more ammo in the case they are working up for some type of action.

CNN has a story called Inside Hebollah

the hook is the start--all about the bomber that took out all the marines in '82 and blown up apartments in Saudi--from the start rthe viewer is told what a terrible group they are.

(most Americans have the iq of a 13 yr old and an attention span of about 15 min.)

Israel can go about destroying Lebanon and Gaza, but Hez and Hamas are not suppose to defend themselves.

Pretty sad indictment of the US.

CNN interviewed 2 Israeli pilots Capt. Y. and Maj. E.--there faces hidden by their flight helment with visor down. Why were they covering up their identity? Worried about reprisals? I think not. Personally, I think thaqt they were trying to hide the fact that they were either Americans or Brits.

Bad news for Israel, their bulldozer, Sharon and his health have gone south. The news tells of his moves into S. Lebanon in '82, he was the mastermind of their invasion. But somehow CNN left out the part about his part in the massacres at Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Again it illustrates how one sided reporting is in the US>
